The 2010 ASHS Annual Conference

July 31 - August 05, 2010

Objective(s):
1) Provide attendees, whether experienced or not with modeling, with highlights, comparisons, and contrasts of modeling approaches in basic and applied horticultural stress physiology research. 2) Provide panel discussion for audience and panel to discuss modeling uses, pros, and cons.

Do you know what your measurements are telling you? Horticultural researchers are utilizing models to relate small measurable variables to larger scale applications. For example, in environmental stress physiology, researchers can relate water use from the cell to the whole plant level.  But how do you know if you need to utilize modeling or just take more measurements?  What stepwise approach and variables are needed to go about using models for your research?

This workshop is intended for all of the horticultural science audience, whether unfamiliar or experienced with modeling. The workshop will provide attendees with highlights, comparisons, and contrasts of modeling approaches in basic and applied horticultural stress physiology research. Oral presentation will be followed by a panel discussion with questions from the audience and panel.
